Abstract: Report
Nov 07 - Aug 08
There has been a rapid
expansion in the number
of different and yet
effective approaches for
high-speed DNA
sequencing. The variety
of approaches has
significant differences
in speed, accuracy and
cost. Whole genome
sequencing is
revolutionizing research
for Biodefense,
Personalized Medicine,
Microbial Forensics,
Agricultural Research
and Drug Discovery;
high-speed sequencing
will become the
technology of choice for
first responders, public
health front line
personnel, and food,
water and air safety
workers.
This report reviews the
best-of-class DNA
sequencing technologies and
ranks the approaches for
their capability for
detection and
identification. In
addition, this report is
the most comprehensive
analysis and current
comparison of the DNA
sequencing technology
landscape. More than 50
different commercial and
research efforts are
highlighted and 20 of
the most advanced
technologies are
profiled in detail.
Performance
characteristics of
state-of-the-art and
emerging DNA sequencing
technologies are
described as well as
perspectives on the
targeted applications
for sequencing
technologies. The
industry leading and
highest potential
emerging technologies
are individually
assessed for
technological strengths
and weaknesses based
upon operational
principles, sequencing
performance, complexity
of operation, and sample
preparation. In
addition, business
characteristics, costs,
description of software
support, and technical
references are provided.
These findings provide
the background of where
the current state of
individual sequencing
technologies are now,
and what potential each
approach has for
achieving rapid genome
sequencing of medical,
diagnostic and biodefense relevant
applications.
